via the Data DUO Kickstarter

"In our previous update, we announced that we will add MIDI IN and OUT to every Dato DUO. What we haven't told you yet, is that every Dato DUO will come with a built-in speaker as well. That should allow for hours of jamming on the couch."

An Interview with Herb Deutsch at The Henry Ford

Note the first Moog ever in the background.

You'll find the full video interview at The Henry Ford here. Afterwards see the live performance here.

"In this interview, Herbert Deutsch recounts his life in music—including the genesis and collaborative process behind creating the first Moog synthesizer with Bob Moog. These two pioneers of synthesis worked together to create a portable electronic instrument with endless sound potential, thanks to the power of “voltage control.” The Moog prototype is an essential part of music history; its sound has continued to impact popular and experimental music alike since the 1960s. Today, Moog Music, Inc. continues to revolutionize synthesis—while paying homage to the root notes of its past."

Protosynth Midi Features Demo Video

Published on Jun 8, 2016 whisk0r

"This is a powerful MIDI prototyping platform that converts incoming MIDI events into electrical signals that make experimentation easy!

A few years ago we built a synthesizer prototyping tool called Protosynth. The project was such a big hit that people requested the ability to buy their own, so we designed a powerful MIDI controlled version!

Over the last few years, we have refined Protosynth Midi to be powerful, flexible, and easy to use.
Protosynth Midi are built in limited quantities by hand here at the Tymkrs Wrkshp. Every unit is assembled, tested, and given a unique serial number. The beautiful handmade hardwood cases with traditional joinery hold your circuit at an angle so you can tinker in comfort and style!"

Full details previously captured here.

Roli Seaboard Rise 49, Expert Sleepers FH 1 and Eurorack

Published on Jun 8, 2016 Dimitrios Sismanis

"First run with the Roli Seaboard Rise 49 into Expert Sleepers FH-1 controlling a single voice from the modular (2 Dixie II's, Cyclebox and STO sub, into Korgasmatron). Processing by Malgorithm and then Clouds. Pitch and gate from FH-1 (obviously). Using custom script from Roli, the XY pad has been mapped to the outs of the FH-1 and is used to control bit depth and sample rate in the Malgorithm, as well as size and position in Clouds. Pressure controls the mix on the Malgorithm. The slide parameter of the Rise is routed to a VCA, which controls an LFO routed to the frequency of the LPF (Korgasmatron)."
